– When charging a battery other than an “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack  
(Battery life display and other functions are not available.)  
Full charging requires about one hour after normal charging is complete.  
If you remove the battery pack between normal charge and full charge,  
the charging time may not be displayed properly in the next charging.  
When charging a battery that has not been used for a long time, the  
displayed battery life and full charge time sometimes differ from the  
actual times. This is not a malfunction. If this happens, fully charge the  
battery pack. The correct times can then be displayed.  
If you install a fully charged battery pack in this unit, “TIME TO CHG  
FULL 1h” may appear on the display. This is not a malfunction.  
It may take some time after pressing DISPLAY for the time to be  
displayed.

• For maximum battery efficiency, the recommended temperature range  
when charging is +10 °C to +30 °C (+50 °F to +86 °F).Charging becomes  
more difficult at lower temperatures.  
• Although this unit enables quick charging, charging outside the  
recommended temperature range may lead to a longer charging time in  
order to protect the battery pack. Once the charging time has been  
extended, quick charging will not be restored even if the temperature is  
brought within the recommended temperature range. Remove and  
reinstall the battery to recharge it again.  
Do not connect this unit to a voltage Adaptor (travel converter) for  
overseas travel. This may result in overheating or other malfunction.  
To display the battery life of a new battery, first install it in your video  
camera recorder and use it for about 20 seconds, and then charge it with  
this unit.  
It may take some time for the time to be displayed for the battery pack  
that is not being charged. Sometimes the time may not be displayed at all  
due to the condition of the battery pack. Neither case is a malfunction.  
In the following cases, some deviance may occur in the time displayed.  
This is not due to any malfunction.  
– If the battery pack is removed from this unit after normal charge is  
finished but before full charge is finished. (It takes about one hour from  
when normal charge is complete to when full charge is complete.)  
– When charging a battery pack that has not been use for a long time.  
(Fully charge once first.)
